SNOW is set to return to Britain over the weekend, only a matter of days after record-breaking winter temperatures were reached in London, the Met Office has warned.

Met Office meteorologist Aidan McGivern warned the winter warmth is set to make a sudden end as a band of cold air is pushed in from off the Atlantic. The Met Office forecaster said: “We are back to normal and that means low-pressure returns, bringing wind, rain and much lower temperatures and even some hill snow.” Mr McGivern explained the sudden shake-up in temperatures is down to a band of Arctic air pushing in over North America and fueling the increasingly powerful jet stream.
